Avidya: Understanding the first Klesha - with Deborah Adele. Kleshas Ep. 3.

Avidya, the first Klesha, is defined as a fundamental misunderstanding of who we are (not knowing who we really are). We are born into a culture, a community, and a belief system. The boundaries put on us by our inherited belief system create this limited understanding of ourselves and the world. In this series, Deborah Adele talks about how Yoga has given name to the process of seeking happiness, and the pitfalls affecting us all: the 5 Kleshas - which can mire us in suffering. The Kleshas are described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra. This teaching explains why we are anxious, why we are afraid, why things don't seem to go right, and when things do go "right," why we can't hold on to them. Understanding the Kleshas helps us recognize why happiness is so elusive. Deborah shares how her previous book, The Yamas & Niyamas, led her to a deeper study of yoga philosophy. She realized that the Yamas & Niyamas are the answer and she wondered, "What's the question?" and, "What's the problem?" She realized that the Kleshas are the problem; they gnaw at our happiness and our sense of well-being, creating a spiral of suffering. This realization had her exploring the Kleshas and the Mind, leading to the writing of this book, The Kleshas: Exploring the Elusiveness of Happiness (release date Sept. 1, 2023).
